How about a bounty for a new windows installer using inno setup ? There are several issues related to the nsis-based windows installer (even on bugzilla). The problem that happened last Fall with a virus false detection may happen again. "Braddr" proposed to handle digital signatures in case it would involve payment. Programming an installer is a small job but it has a long term impact on the user experience. Worth 100€ imo.

Most of the work is already done, just a few apps need to be moved. I think no one really wants NSIS because of readability issues. It's assembler like language is too low level and many common functions are just missing. InnoSetup on the other hand gives you everything you could ever want. I never missed a thing because pretty much everything is right there and if you happen to have very special needs you can do it quite nicely with the pascal scripting ability. You can call every Windows API function you just need to wrap it if it is not provided in one way or another via the InnoSetup API. I don't think you need to do that for the D Installer though. Our installers need to handle quite a few things. - Signing and timestamping of exes, dlls, Installer and Uninstaller - SendTo Handler registration (Windows doesn't provide a common SendTo directory so you need to handle it quite complicated for each users individual SendTo directory if you don't want to write a proper SendTo COM thing) - Registration of a COM server - Differentiate between 32 and 64 bit installs - User elevation for Installs and Uninstalls but Updates are done for the current User (We still use Inno for our Updates too but move away from that because it's not at all transactional and cannot be undone in the middle of the update) - Create MSI Installer from InnoSetup Installer via Wix The update case could be better supported by Inno by default though I don't know how to really do it transactionally/atomic.

Once everything is on the drive, how would you be able to switch from the old directory to the new one with one atomic action under Windows?I'm not sure what you mean by switch the directory. If you mean that the update uses a different directory for the program than the original, then you can probably just use a "major" upgrade. Windows Installer has the idea of minor upgrade and major upgrade. (So, it's independent of whatever tools your using.) A minor upgrade just updates the files that have changed. A major upgrade essentially removes the original product totally and installs the new one. Some people even use a major upgrade for _every_ new version just to avoid problems that might occur with a minor upgrade. If your install is simple it may not matter whether it's transactional or not. If it fails halfway through just try again or else ask the user to delete files. But for a more complicated install it's possible that it fails halfway through and leaves the system in a bad state where the half-install cannot be easily removed nor can you try again because the installer now thinks the product is already installed. Trying to fix this on a remote user's system can be a headache. I liked WiX because it was down to the metal and I don't think there's anything you can't do. With other tools (like InstallShield) I spent too much time trying to get the tool to do something I could have done really easy at the low level if I could've just gotten to it. But granted, for simpler install situations the scripting tools can work OK and have a smaller learning curve. Jim

If the install fails or is Canceled in the middle the application can not start anymore and so the user needs to do something manually. It would be possible to update everything into a new directory and after everything is done just exchange the stuff in the already installed directory with the new update directory. But even this operation isn't atomic even though it's much better. What might work is to make it work like the Nix package manager. NixOS (Nix Package manager) provides atomic updates because the entire system environment is build by links. Replacing a version with another one is just a matter of changing the link to the proper directory. So in Windows you could do it the same. Install versions in separate directories. The installation directory is linking to the appropriate version directory. On update just install to new version directory and after everything is done just update the installation directory link to the new update directory. No matter what happens either the old or the new application version should be workable.The update case could be better supported by Inno by default though I don't know how to really do it transactionally/atomic.

During the process of building the installation package or during installation itself. Anyway, in either case I don't see why not. You can insert a DLL into an MSI file. Then at some point during installation that you specify, the DLL will be extracted and an arbitrary function in it called. So any language that can generate a DLL will work there.

Do you think it would be possible to use D instead of C++ to write custom code?Short answer is yes, I've created such and actually inject my custom DLL for testing purposes. MSI's are pretty awkward, no one knows how to create the MSI database instead there are 3 example databases provided which you can merge together if you desire that feature. From there the Database consists of tables which layout the installation sequence along with the installation sequence for the GUI. These sequences can call "Custom Actions" which are just table entries that point to a DLL (there is more to Custom Actions). The signature looks something like below. I've got a little wrapper around the MSIHANDLE so as to add some safety and convenience. extern(Windows): export uint MyCustomActionName(const MsiLiveHandle hModule) { I'm not too familiar with WIX and the exposure I've had is with older versions (3.x) which have had annoying and weird bugs. D certainly could be used to create the D MSI installer, but that is even lower level than WIX.

Now if you're question is why not forgo the MSI and create a self-extracting archive which runs a post "install" configuration, well then you're writing your own installer and will need to fully handle upgrades and uninstall (I say fully since even with an MSI there is still uninstall steps you must specify, but generally only if you're doing special install steps that need to be undone) To me an MSI is a weird complicated mess, but I'm kind of interested to dig in and understand how the MSIexec reads and processes the DB (beyond the basics).These sequences can call "Custom Actions" which are just table entries that point to a DLL (there is more to Custom Actions).Why not just unpack the stuff and run a configuration program?

It's really geared toward GUI apps, though, with traditional activation mechanisms (shortcuts, file type associations, protocols). Building a new MSI installer with WiX for DMD itself is pretty straightforward. MSI and WiX support almost everything but you'd need install-time code for: * _ReplaceInFile replacement * UCRT manipulation in SDK searches What's not straightforward is the "extras": Visual D, DMC, D1, Visual Studio. Usually, that kind of thing is handled in WiX with a bundle but that doesn't fit this pattern well, because the expectation is that you're handed off to the other installer. And order matters, because you need to get VS installed first to get the detection right but Visual D expects to come after the DMD installer. It's not a hard problem, just one that doesn't really fit into the MSI model well.On 12/5/2016 3:19 AM, Kjartan F.
